Harley faces fight: Fyfe

FREMANTLE’S troubled Harley Bennell faces an uphill battle to salvage his career, Dockers captain Nat Fyfe says.

But Fyfe says he will continue to support the controversial former Gold Coast Suns star after the Dockers had sanctioned the midfielder over a nightclub brawl.

Fremantle last week sent Bennell, 25, to train at their WAFL-aligned club for at least eight weeks, and fined him $15,000 – a third of which was suspended.

“We’re here to support Harley,” Fyfe said yesterday.

“We want to see him back playing for our footy club

“But he has acted his way out at the moment and he will go away and really fight for his career.”
